    Man, can Rudy find diamonds in the rough!

    This guy, who wasn't really given a chance by other teams, gels so well with us and can really pick up the slack when the Rockets need him!

    Can we say A LA MARIO ELIE?!?! :D :D

    consistent in what?
    Offense? we dont need him to be...we have plenty of weapons..they just havent been hitting

    Defense? He has been much better on defense than anyone else on the team. In most games so far, when Hawk comes in..the defensive intensity kicks up a notch..unfortunately when he goes to the bench, so does our team D..

    Agreed with NWO...Hawk is a god send..thanks Scotty

    His defense IS consistent and that's why he's in the game on a regular basis. I don't believe that anyone considers him a scorer right now.;)

    Charles Barkley will hate Hawkins for passing Ming the ball to score over 19 points.

    Hawins' career is not smooth at all. He even played in China.

    Hawkins looks very good on the defensive end. That pass to Yao was awesome. I have nothing bad to say about the guy. Excellent pick up!

    I like the fact that when he drives he's usually looking to dish the ball.

    I loved when Hawkins hit that big jumper w/ the foot on the line. The kid has been making some mistakes here and there with fumbled passes and the occasionally silly foul, but he's definitely got good nerves, witnessed by the several big plays he's made in his limited minutes.

    I love his D, because this wins games, not Steve (your point) averaging 30. If only the other players picked up this habit consistently.

    I hope this is a question referring to your continued mispelling of

    Mario ELIE 's name. ;) if not, God save him
